"Clean room, recently refurbished, check out at noon. Easy of the A1. Carpark by the hotel, charges 5 Euros. Easy, good for one night whilst on the road."
"The room was in really good condition. The staff were wonderful. Very helpful in all situations. Always had a smile on their faces. Great vibes. Location was perfect. Situated near greenery but just a short walk to central areas. The bed was soft and comfortable. I loved that the property was stocked with all that I needed especially the kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again. Already planning our next visit.
Absolutely loved the balconies, think my favourite...
